Project repo for the WWC PDX website

[this is a work in progress - check back soon for updated versions]

SETUP

How to get this project running on your machine.

  1. Install Git.

    Open terminal (Mac) or command prompt (Windows) and check that it's installed:

    which git

    That should return a path (e.g., /usr/local/bin/git).

  2. Install Python 3.

    Download the latest version of Python (which as of this writing is 3.6.3). The downloadable installer should work for any operating system: https://www.python.org/downloads/

    Once installed, check that it's installed:

    which python3

    That should return a path (e.g., /usr/local/bin/python3). If you're using Windows and get an error message, try using python without the 3.

  3. Fork this repository. This creates a copy of the repository on your GitHub account.

  4. Clone the git repository. This creates a copy of the repository's files on your machine.

    git clone [email protected]:YOUR_GITHUB_USERNAME/wwc-website.git

  5. Move into that repository. Depending on where you put it, you may have to cd into other folders first.

    cd wwc-website

  6. Set up a Python virtual environment. A virtual environment (or virtualenv) isolates the project so that changes made to the project won't affect any others you're also developing.

    python3 -m venv venv

    Now activate the virtual environment. For Mac:

    source venv/bin/activate

    For Windows:

    venv\Scripts\activate

    You should see (venv) prefixed in front of your terminal prompt, letting you know the virtualenv is active.

  7. Install the requirements using pip. pip is a tool for installing and managing Python packages. It is already installed if you downloaded Python 3 in step 2. It is also automatically installed if you created a virtual environment in step 6.

    You can make sure you have the latest version of pip with this command:

    pip install --upgrade pip

    If for some reason you don't have pip installed, follow these installation directions.

    Once you have pip, install the required packages like this:

    pip install -r requirements.txt

  8. Run the app:

    python manage.py runserver

    You should be able to see the site at http://localhost:8000/.

    The admin dashboard is available at http://localhost:8000/admin.
